A Delicious and Easy Lentil Soup Recipe
I don’t know where you live, but in northeastern Ohio where I and most of my family live, the days are getting shorter and cooler, and the nights are sometimes downright chilly. For me, this signals perfect weather for some of my favorite, easy-to-prepare healthy food recipes.
One of my all-time favorites is a healthy, totally vegetarian lentil soup that uses carrots, celery, onion and vegetable stock. But, if you would prefer a non-vegetarian treat, just use beef or chicken stock. Either way it tastes so good on a chilly fall day. Both I and my family absolutely love it.

Gluten Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of August 26, 2012
Here is my next gluten-free diet menu plan, complete with some of my family’s favorite meals.
I haven’t prepared a menu plan lately, and I’ve been feeling the lack of organization. To be honest, it’s been crazy! Having a plan should return a tad more peace into my kitchen – it always does.
Another benefit: Most of these gluten-free meals also are fairly simple to prepare. The baked snacks and desserts take a little more time, but if you don’t want to turn on the oven for them, you can always serve more of the fruit and yogurt snacks…or buy a few goodies from your local gluten-free bakery or health food store. The Oatmeal Bars and the Applesauce Nut Muffins are favorites for packing and snacking around here. The Chocolate Potato Cake is planned for a birthday request.

If you have other people who also work in the kitchen, like a spouse or a child, you will probably really like dividing the work areas. Other people would then be able to do gluten-y food prep without contaminating the gluten-free area. For example, in the gluten-y work area you might have a toaster for the gluten-containing breads along with butter knives and peanut butter and so forth right at hand. If you can keep the gluten in your kitchen divided, you’ll all be able to stay…healthier!

This is the fifth and last post in my Gluten-Free Diet Pantry and Kitchen Series. My apologies! I meant to publish this post several months ago. Sorry, my bad… 
! Life happened and I never got around to it. But, here it is now…
As I said above, you don’t want to stop to contemplate every move in the kitchen, every time you do something. Here’s a picture of the counter to the right side of my stove. It is where I process my gluten-free items. I’m preparing to make King Arthur Flour’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust.
